Women and Electricity.

writer in the Woman's Argosy says:
why is a mothers hand on the head
OF a sick child so soothing! Because her
love supplies electricity which is "a
curative force and a tonic. Animal
electricity is an agency not so well un-
derstood as it should be by women,
though they use it continually. It is
crroncously confoundcd with the mas
sage treatment, which is nothing more
or less than merely rubbing the entire
body. Animal electricity is impaired by
careful manipulation OF the muscles.
performed by gently stretching them
with both hands. This produces an
elasticity Of action which causes them to
rise, thereby increasing their power to
act. Women, whose fingers are supple
and yet strong, can best impart cleo
ircity to their children. The treatment
should be applied mainly with the fin
gers. When the nerves arc Frustrated,
they can be invigoratcd i'm the same
way. They should be gently pressed in
one direction and another, which tends
TO increase their vitality. The general
circulation can be increased by lightly
moving the hands over the surface Of
blood vessels, not rubbing them briskly.
but using enough force to quicken the
circulation. Woman can become thor
ou-h animal electricians if they will but
devote themselves to a careful study of
antony. The world is full Of hnlf-in-
valid women, who should be
restored to health by this natural
method. Drugs will not help them, but
animal electricity applied under the
right coalition will cure the individual
l,u ul the sex"

Fashion Notes.

Steel gray will be the most elegant
color for the street
Hat trimmings continue to be yer Y
high.
Honiton lace is in highest fashion for
bridal toilets.
Dark blue and brown cloth uppers are
used on stylish boots.
Bcll-like flowers make handsome hair
and shoulder decorations
Cloth costumes look the best when
trimmed in the Simplest manner.
Moirc will be used for trimming serge
dresses, but scarcely in any other way,
Several materials are combined now to
make charming effects in autumn cos
tunes.
Side panels are going cut. Front
bands or draped panels viii take their
place.
Next winter will be emphatically a
silk" as distinguished from u 'woolen''
season.
Surah looks decidedly rich when used
with black, brown, dark green or ser
pent blue.
The most fashionable women in Paris
are wearing their gowns without the
tournurc.
Silk tapestries as thick and rich as up
holsterers' goods may be used to trim
wool dresses.
Upon black silk costumes are noted
aprons of figured lace, which add no little
to their beauty.
Lace designs of cut, uncut and frise
velvet over satin or silk remain attractive
for elegant gowns
Braids are shown in some new canvas
weavings, which are particularly taste
full and scasonable.
Coat basques with long square side
pieces, low on the hips, will be used for
demi-saison toilets.
Mandarin sleeves are appreciated in
wraps, and with their fancy Innings give
quite smart air to them.
The pulled sleeves have had their
brief day. Straight sleeves will rule
during the fall and winter.
For cashmerc5 full drapcric5 and bod
ices, with soft, full fronts and pulled
sleeves, is the correct thing.
Velvet brocaded grcnadne with lac,
and plain grcnadine is looked upon as
especially desirable for gown.
Blown glass beads and pearls are to be
among the most fashionable Of dress
trimmings during the fall aud winter
White and pale pink cotton crcpos
have been accorded unwonted favor.
They are often trimmed very deliberately.
Black suede gloves are proper with all
mourning costumes. The black silk
gloves for summer wear are fashionable
Shot silks and shot vclvcts will he
combined in expensive toilets this fall,
and the result will, as rule be hope
lcssly ugly.
The latest couccit Is q parasol Of the
same dress goods at the costume, an in
novation that the ultra fasbionlbIes arc
looking upon with unusual favor.

The poor Of Paris, are buried by
the city gratuitously, and these form
two-thirds Of the community These
